About the writer...

José Duarte Ramalho Ortigão was a Portuguese writer.

As a teenager, he read Viagens na minha terra, by Almeida Garrett, a work that impressed him so much that it inspired him to become a writer. He was a French teacher at Colégio da Lapa, where he had as a student Eça de Queiroz, a future friend and partner in literary works.

Ramalho Ortigão had an enormous taste for travel, having visited countries such as England, France, Holland and Italy, and each trip was an inspiration for his works. However, his attachment to his homeland continued to show in his writing. Ortigão reflects a desire for national progress, including the reaffirmation of Portuguese culture, in contrast to his experiences abroad.

Some of his main works:

O mistério da estrada de Sintra (1870);
As farpas (1871- 1882);
As praias de Portugal (1876);
A Holanda (1894).

“The most effective way to be useful to your country is to educate your child.” – As farpas, Ramalho Ortigão.
